Abstract
Super-focusing light using metamaterials and metasurfaces is of paramount importance in several applications, from integrated optics to microwave engineering and sensing. However, there are still some difficulties to realize broadband achromatic aberration highly efficient super-focusing from the far field to far field or quasi far field. In this Letter, based on conformal transformation optics, we propose a generalized conformal Luneburg lens (GCLL), which provides a new, to the best of our knowledge, strategy for quasi-far-field super-focusing with broadband (0.9–1.3 THz) achromatic aberration and high efficiency (above 60%). A relatively high numerical aperture (NA of 0.63) and sub-diffraction-limited resolution (FWHM of 0.45λ) are also obtained. The sample of the GCLL was designed using gradient metamaterials. The numerical simulation results verify that the focusing effects of the designed samples are consistent with the performance of the ideal GCLL.
